Spiritual On Guard!

Body armor is essential in war for protection.  However, it is cumbersome attire for daily activities.

Yet, there is an available armor that should be continually worn; not body armor like shields from physical attack, but the spiritual armor within from our Lord Jesus. 

   "Finally be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil." Ephesians 6:10-11

You ask, but why?  I've got a lovely house with no predators in sight! Well, isn’t it obvious we need God's strength? Simply turn on the news and you see all the continuous trauma taking place. We need some access to peace and opportunity of departing from this disintegrating world, which is only found by being in the will of God. 

Now, don’t misunderstand me when I’m telling you about the comfort of having the armor of God on, it’s not implying that life is all roses with no thorns. No, simply you can find rest in Jesus. Instead of having a new pen pal, we have a new prayer pal in Christ the Creator of peace and supplier of tranquility. 

So why wear the spiritual armor? Even during times of peace soldiers continue to wear their protection, prepared for any surprise attacks from the enemy. We too must keep alert so that the adversary cannot slither in and catch us in a cat nap.
